BALUNS CCTV Security Balun: A device that converts a Balanced 100 Ohm twisted pair cable to an Unbalanced 75 Ohm coaxial cable, hence the term BALUN. Benefits: By using a Balun at each end of a Category 5E or 6 cable, instead of using standard CCTV Coaxial cable, the installer/ end customer can obtain: • Lower material costs • Reduced installation time • Long cable/signal runs • More versatility • Future proof for IP camera design
Striping Instructions: 1. Strip off 2.00” of jacket 2. Straighten and align wires to T568B or T568A - Trim Pairs 3. Insert wires into connector body 4. Pull tight to ensure jacket is .250” inside connector body 5. Verify wire location and orientation 6. Insert 32-EZP connector into crimp tool- TL-EZRJ45 7. Verify connector is completely seated and cable is fully inserted
8. Squeeze handle of TL-EZRJ45 9. Remove excess wires 10. Check jacket strain relief 11. Check that contacts are all engaged 12. Check that contact dividers are not damaged 13. Check to see if both ends of the cable have been terminated
Tool less Balun Installation: CN-TL, CN-MTL, CN-RJ45PT
1. Run Category 5E between camera and the rest of your CCTV equipment. Each pair will carry a video signal. 2. Strip the Cat 5E cable 1/4”-1/2”. 3. Connect the pair of wires to the balun according to the diagram. Connect with the correct polarity to the balun on both ends. (Insert wires vertically into slots) (Bend wires down into IDC strip and close the IDC cap and external cover). 4. Connect the balun to the camera.
Screw Balun Installation: CN-MTL2, CN-STPT2 (Pair) 1. Run Category 5E between camera and the rest of your CCTV equipment. Each pair will carry a video signal. 2. Strip the cable 1/4”-1/2”. 3. Connect the pair of wires to the balun using the screw terminals + and - terminals Turn Screw until the conductor is snug. Do not over turn the screw. Distances Passive to Passive - 1000ft.
